Ruto Mocks UhuRaila For Coming Up With An Incomplete BBI Document

Date:

Deputy president William Ruto has come out strongly to castigate President Uhuru and Opposition chief Raila Odinga over the BBI.

While speaking today, Ruto asked why the BBI steering committee spent a whole two years and still failed to include everything. His sentiments come amid push and pulls that have been ongoing since the BBI document was released at Bomas.

While the TangaTanga faction called for amendment of BBI, the pro-handshake faction rejected such a move terming it ill intended. Parliamentarians allied to President Uhuru and Raila Odinga dismissed the Ruto allies since they had squandered their chance by opposing the document even before its release.

Ruto was responding to the forces that have maintained a hardline stand that the document requires no changes. According to him, it is necessary to amend the document to make it inclusive and “non divisive.”

He further claimed that the proposed additional changes are manifestation enough that the steering committee did a shoddy job. Since its release, DP Ruto and Raila Odinga have been at loggerheads with one another on how best to carry on with the document.

With the referendum is expected earlier next year, changes to the document may as well delay the much anticipated referendum. Furthermore, the IEBC has expressed that the whole process may cost the taxpayer a whopping 14 million Kenya shillings. Their claim came in the wake of opposition chief Raila Odinga alleging that referendum would only cost the country a paltry 2 billion Kenya shillings.
